Make It & Take It at the Fair

Come to the Iowa State Fair this Saturday 8-17 and join the Guild. If a member, come help teach knitting. If you want to learn, sign up for a class. The cost is $10 and you will get 2 hours with Des Moines Knitting Guild members to learn to knit. Classes are at 9 a.m and noon.
It is a lot of fun. Stop by and say "Hi."

About The Guild

We are the Des Moines Knitting Guild, a group of yarn crafters who meet to support the love of knit and crochet. We are open to and welcome any knitting enthusiast, regardless of skill level. Our purpose is to enrich the knitting experience by sharing and developing the craft.

Meet Us

Meetings are the first Tuesday of the month at Grace Lutheran Church, 3010 52nd Street, on the corner of 52nd & Urbandale. We meet in Grace Hall on the second floor, north side. The meeting runs from 7-9 p.m, and someone will be there at 6:30 to assist with knitting and to greet visitors.
